A Comparative Analysis of the Vitality of Welsh and Irish 1 Introduction
A Comparative Analysis of the Vitality of Welsh and Irish Eva Morrison Abstract The Welsh and Irish languages, the indigenous languages of Wales and Ireland, respectively, have experienced significant declines in their speaker populations since the beginning of English settlement in their homelands. This decline has not occurred to the same extent in both languages; in the early 21st century, Welsh is habitually spoken by a much larger population, both in absolute numbers and proportion of its indigenous territory’s total population, than Irish. This is despite both languages having been the subject of intense revitalization efforts since the 20th century and having official status alongside English in their respective countries. This thesis uses historical data on economic conditions, institutional involvement in language maintenance, and patterns of language shift to elucidate the source of this disparity. 1 Introduction Celtic languages have been spoken in the British Isles for thousands of years, predating the arrival of Anglo-Saxon settlers. All Celtic languages have been superseded to varying extents by English, which is now spoken by the vast majority of the islands’ non-immigrant inhabitants. Only three Celtic languages of the British Isles survive as spoken languages in the present day—Irish (sometimes referred to as Irish Gaelic), spoken throughout the island of Ireland; Welsh, spoken in Wales; and Scottish Gaelic, spoken in the Scottish Highlands and the Hebrides islands. Of these three languages, Irish and Welsh enjoy the most institutional support, being de jure official in Ireland and Wales, respectively. Despite the high official status of these languages, both have experienced severe declines in their speaker populations, especially during the 19th and 20th centuries. -

Frontenac County
IMMIGRANTS FROM ENGLAND 1800 - 1900 PROVINCE OF ONTARIO VOLUME 1 - FRONTENAC COUNTY COMPILED BY RUSS WALLER INTRODUCTION CHOOSING A TITLE FOR THIS SERIES OF BOOKS WAS SOMEWHAT OF A PROBLEM. SINCE CANADA IS LEGALLY A BI-LINGUAL COUNTRY (ALTHOUGH ACTUALLY MORE AND MORE MULTI-LINGUAL) THE TERM "ENGLISH" CONNOTES LANGUAGE RATHER THAN ORIGIN, AND IS ALMOST ALWAYS USED TO DIFFERENTIATE FROM "FRENCH". IMMIGRANTS FROM ENGLAND WAS CHOSEN AS THE LEAST CUMBERSOME ALTERNATIVE TO ENGLISH IMMIGRANTS. THIS BOOK DOES NOT CONTAIN A FULL GENEALOGY OF ANY ONE FAMILY. IT IS INTENDED AS A FINDING AID, ASSISTING RESEARCHERS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ATLANTIC TO DISCOVER EITHER WHERE THEIR ANCESTORS CAME FROM OR WHERE THEY EMIGRATED TO. IN MOST CASES, THEREFORE, NOT ALL OF THE KNOWN CHILDREN ARE INCLUDED IN THE "ISSUE" COLUMN. ALL THOSE BORN IN ENGLAND ARE LISTED, IN ORDER TO ASSIST ENGLISH RESEARCHERS TO IDENTIFY A PARTICULAR FAMILY, BUT, OF THE CHILDREN BORN AFTER EMIGRATION, THE ELDEST SON IS USUALLY THE ONLY ONE LISTED. A DAUGHTER IS LISTED IF THERE IS NO MALE ISSUE, BUT HER NAME CHANGE AT MARRIAGE MAKES IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TRACE HER. THE PROBLEM OF TRACING FAMILIES WHO MOVED ON FROM FRONTENAC COUNTY WAS GREATLY ASSISTED IN MANY CASES BY THE ALL-ONTARIO INDEX TO THE 1871 CANADA CENSUS, COMPILED BY THE ONTARIO GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY. THIS INDEX IS NOW AVAILABLE ON THE WORLD-WIDE-WEB. THE DATE OF ARRIVAL OF MOST IMMIGRANT FAMILIES IS, UNFORTUNATELY, NOT KNOWN, BUT, FOR THOSE FAMILIES LISTED IN THE 1901 CENSUS, A SPACE WAS PROVIDED FOR THE YEAR OF IMMIGRATION. -
